EASTER came early for a group of bunnies as they were invited to a special Vue screening of Peter Rabbit.

The rabbits hopped down to the cinema for an exclusive early showing of the film in Bedford before its general release in the UK today.

The bunnies swapped popcorn for carrots as they enjoyed the big screen experience in style.

In Peter Rabbit, Beatrix Potter’s mischievous hero who has captivated generations of readers now stars in his own film.

Peter’s feud with Thomas McGregor (Domhnall Gleeson) escalates to greater heights than ever before as their fight to gain control of McGregor’s coveted vegetable garden and the affections of the warm-hearted animal lover who lives next door (Rose Byrne) extends to the Lake District and London.

James Corden voices the character of Peter, with Margot Robbie, Elizabeth Debicki, and Daisy Ridley performing the voice roles of the triplets, Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cotton-tail.
